## Assessment Instructions
Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?
Identify specific KPIs / metrics used to monitor asset-specific sustainability attributes present in the loan portfolio. Participants should select each KPI tracked, then describe the frequency of data updates \[biennial, semi-annual, annual, etc.].
Input: How do I complete this indicator?
Select Yes or No. If Yes, please select all applicable checkboxes.
**Note:** Under checkboxes, participants must select data update frequency.
### **Terminology**
**Green building certificate**
> Recognition that a project has received a green building rating. A certificate indicates the name and location of the project, version of the rating system, date of certification, and level of recognition.
**Energy Rating**
> A scheme that measures the energy efficiency performance of buildings.
**Energy consumption**
> The use of energy by the asset.
**GHG emissions**
> GHGs refers to the seven gases listed in the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard: carbon dioxide (CO2); methane (CH4); nitrous oxide (N2O); hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); perfluorocarbons (PFCs); nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). They are expressed in CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
**Water consumption**
> The use of water resources by the asset.
**Waste management**
> Issues associated with hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation, reuse, recycling, composting, recovery, incineration, landfill and on-site storage.
